First Deep Carbon Workshop, Sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Carnegie Institution, 15-17 MAY 2008.

The Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory has received a two-year grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to convene two Deep Carbon Cycle Workshops and to prepare a document entitled “Needs and Opportunities in Deep Carbon Cycle Research.” This document may serve as the basis for a more ambitious multi-institution, multi-year proposal to Sloan and other granting organizations. The Sloan Foundation is thus providing seed money to study what they see as a new interdisciplinary research venture.The First Workshop on the Deep Carbon Cycle will take place at the Carnegie Institution’s Broad Branch Road campus in Washington DC on May 15-17, 2008.
